It's a Nice World to Visit (But Not to Live In) - Ann Margret

The star of Viva Las Vegas, Stagecoach, Kitten with a Whip and the Cincinatti Kid collaborated with Texan songwriter/producer Lee Hazlewood and turned in this bizarre proto-Sabbath, psych pop, pro-suicide anthem.

Anne Margret was present when Elvis went on his first acid trip. But no beaded curtains, suitar music or goddamn Commie candles for the King... after taking the hit he chased it with pizza and a Jungle Room screening of the Time Machine.

Cherry Bomb - the Runaways

Pop Metal gold featuring Joan Jett (the wasted look, guitar), Lita Ford (pouting Dolly Bird, lead) and Cherie Currie (wore lingerie on stage, vocals).

Cherry Bomb was co-written and produced by Kim Fowley who earns his pop stripes via his associations with Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Modern Lovers, the Germs, the Rivingtons, the Beach Boys, the Quick, Motley Crue, BMX Bandits, P.J. Proby, Phil Spector and KISS... a list of credits that also earns him the right to marry my sister.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.
